V11 Reporting Services error

Woo boy – I did a bunch of stuff with the namespace and things like that (which is where my upgrade/uninstall issues showed themselves) but I don’t think any of that made a difference for me. It was really just finding the right path to the RS.exe and once I did that it worked. I wish I had kept a list of all the fiddles and tweaks I tried, but I was pretty much ending at the ‘hope and a prayer’ method of troubleshooting by the end. *grin*

I do remember this blog post started me down some of the namespace stuff, but that might be a rabbit hole for you.

Yup same issue here.  I created a test ReportServer db and called it ReportServer_a and created the standard url.  Worked like a charm.  We essentially did the same thing.  UP from 2005 to 2008.  I uninstalled the RS 2008 and reinstalled to no avail.  Any other ideas? 

My path has to be set to:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\RS.exe

In my case it is a problem with my box being upgraded from an old 2005 RS installation and it not completely uninstalling that old install (a known MS issue apparently).

Thanks I did open a ticket and we tried that.  Where was your static path located? I created a test db of reportserver and it works ok.

Ohh.. I might have hit this error. I’d open a ticket with support, but if it is like mine it was basically looking for the RS.exe in the wrong place. I had to go into the text of TIM and change the path of the RS.exe from a dynamic one to the static one that was on my server.

Again, I’d open a ticket – because your scenario might not be mine at all!

Sorry hit enter without finishing.

Microsoft suggests modifying the registry which I did and still no resolution.  Has anyone encountered this error?  Is it related to encryption keys?  Is it related to cloning a virtual production machine and using it for test?

Hello,

We have cloned our production environment for a V11 test environment.  When I tried to install the SSRS reports with TIM I get the following error:

BUILD FAILED - 0 non-fatal error(s), 2 warning(s)

C:\Users\adminjeb\AppData\Local\TessituraTemp\TessituraReportsInstaller\Installer.build(23,3):
External Program Failed: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\RS.exe (return code was 1)

TN recommended that I uninstall and reinstall reporting services in SQL2008 R2 which I did.  I reinstalled but received the same error.  When I try to resolve the url I get the following error:

The report server installation is not initialized. (rsReportServerNotActivated)
